This OST poll was tough–‘Prin-Prin’ is my favorite for this year, as Fate/Zero–although a great favorite,is a few years old. ‘Zaregoto’ OST is very cool too,though–this is like asking a mum who her favorite child is, cuz they’re all amazing!

I don’t if this is an unpopular opinion or actually a popular one, but I rather have Kalafina “disbanding” or resigning from Spacecraft and work with Kajiura again using whatever their new name will be instead of them staying as Kalafina and doing others’ songs.

Its better the way its going now, Kajiura was clearly out of ideas for new Kalafina songs, and had exhausted all voice combinations and arrangement styles. After all was her longest jpop project. Its time for a new start for both. If needed Hikaru can join FictionJunction which will still be under Kajiura as things seem to turn out.

I don’t know about “better the way it’s going now”, george. I mean Hyakka Ryouran single is rather good. A few recent releases fell rather mediocre most probably because of tight deadlines and schedule, I don’t know, so there was not much to do about finding the “new and fresh” sounds we’re hoping. But Kalafina with different producer when their direction is clearly doing anime soundtracks? It’s a dreadful thought.

They dont really do soundtracks rather than OP and ED themes, and at worst they are going to sound a bit more generic than some of their songs (ttb, heavenly blue, believe) have already sounded like. Its not the end of the world. Kajiura will still be around and she will be mainly using FJ from now on, and it has Keiko and Wakana in there, Hikaru can join later. Some of their songs have already sounded Kalafina like eternal blue and distance. So it ll be a sneaking swap of record labels but with less lives.
